Sandy Casey, Director of Walker Group, said: “Buying your first home as a married couple is incredibly exciting and couples often see a two bedroom home as the perfect next step after living in an apartment.

“However, it is always good to think ahead five years – couples who are planning on having children or even starting a business from home will quickly grow out of a two bedroom property. Four bed homes start from £235,000.

“While I am sure Meghan and Harry will have lots of space to spare and can pop round to the in-laws at Kensington Palace for dinner if things are getting cramped, an average two bedroom home can feel a bit of a squeeze!”

Monarch’s Way will feature a collection of two, three, four and five bedroom family homes when complete, just four miles from Livingston.

Named after Charles X, who visited West Calder in 1832 when in exile from his native France, Monarch’s Way features some of the developer’s most sought after house types.

Surrounded by countryside, the development is just a short distance from West Calder’s centre which offers a range of shops, a supermarket, cafes, bars, restaurants and professional services.

There are four good primary schools in the village and there are plans to replace the current West Calder High School with a brand new multi-million pound building which will provide a state-of-the-art learning environment.

Ideally located for commuters with its own train station, there are regular services from West Calder to Edinburgh and Livingston.

Buyers can see the high standard of accommodation on offer by visiting the new Gladstone showhome which pays homage to the new wave of Scandinavian design.

With designs from Carol Yates Interior Design, it has the unfussy, relaxed, contemporary look that is the hallmark of Nordic design and features a colour palette of greys, whites and blues along with oak furniture.
